[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
We're still getting the questions and I'm still getting the private messages but not as much now. I agree with you that the people that can't root the device because they can't follow the instructions should not be allowed to do so. Here's a simple reason why. When I used to develop ports and themes (couple roms back in the G1/MT3G days) I always had to include a disclaimer that WAS the link. In other words I would say download by clicking the disclaimer below which would waive their rights to blame me should something go wrong. Why did I do that? Because people couldn't read or follow instructions which caused a quite a bit of grief for me. Funny thing was that when I began using that method people were asking me "Where can I download?" and that would prove to me that they did not read the disclaimer or the instructions for that matter. I have also learned that you have to put words in color, different sizes, use underlines and

even in bold

to get their attention. In fact, I'll be willing to wager that that last sentence was the first to get your attention. Which proves my point. Developers need to make things

stand out

without making it look tacky.

Here's an example of one of my themes with what I was talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8899943

You must add pictures, underlines, changelogs that are easy to find, read and understand. Then you need to add the disclaimer. That way you don't need to worry about getting people pissed off at you for messing up their device. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
well I made some changes look much less tacky...It'll be a work in progress!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Binary I modified your script to work with linux and mac. I need someone to test it. I think it should work, I posted it in the second post of this thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Would have saved me a few minutes the other day if this was posted, but I just opened the .bat files in textedit and ran them in terminal(with whatever tweaks to the commands needed). Glad it is here for future osx/linux people though.

I never did figure out why, but a few different versions of fastboot didn't work for me- one of these had a version that worked for me, the others didn't, can't remember which worked.. RecoveryInstallerForNoobs, EasyKernelFlasher, Xboarder56-All-in-One-Tool. Or maybe it was fastboot-mac that I think I found on the htcdev site..

Either way, definitely cool to see more mac/linux friendliness in the forums :) I don't touch my pc if at all possible..
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
did you use RecoveryInstallerForNoobs version 2.0?? I just made it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I don't know about 2.0, I downloaded it and some other files 2 nights ago when I got my amaze. Like I said, there were a few versions of fastboot that I tried that didn't work.. still the entire process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery, and flashing a rom took less than 30 minutes once I figured out that the fastboot file was the issue. It probably helps that I thought I'd have this phone a month ago, so already researched everything I would need to know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Binary tell me if you need me to change anything, or how the posts look. Feel free to change them. After seeing what you have done before, you have a better design sense than I do I guess
[HTC Amaze 4G] will_69_67:
I just wanted to say there are a few of us out here who do know how to read and use the search feature, and also give a big thanks to Binary, Xboarder and everyone else for all of there hard work. I was missing my HD2, but thanks to you guys it is now a distant memory.

I have edited alot and looked around to find everything for mac, pc and linux. I put them in 3 easy steps. THERE SHOULD BE NO problems rooting your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gb3600:
I used this to post to find the how to root guide by binary and it was very helpful! Can I make a suggest though? The link goes to the development section and new people like me can't post replies in development until I get ten posts. Since there is one in General too can you link to that one instead? Cant hurt nothing and if I have problems i can just reply in there. I didn't have any problems though but I did want to say thanks and to share my appreciation for your hard work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
ok sound ok to me :), They're basically the same so I have no problems with this
[HTC Amaze 4G] gb3600:
cool thanks man!

i like this forum and people seem pretty friendly but there's a lot of information here and it's pretty overwhelming.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
If you're new to android or rooting, it can be overwhelming, follow the "Rules" section in the first post of this thread, it has a lot of good links to familiarize yourself with things.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I actually agree with this. Seems sensible. It will probably cut down on some of the clutter and new threads. Thanks for the suggestion and welcome to the forums! Please remember to read (and follow) the forum rules.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I agree and It's already done :). and I changed what was called "Rules" to " Rules and General Knowledge"
[HTC Amaze 4G] gb3600:
yeah i read the forum rules and i watched the vid for noobs.

thank you!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Can we make an example of this person if you follow how things should be done, you won't have any problems!!! welcome again and thanks for your suggestion :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
no a fourth grader can find a job right now, atleast in school somewhere. He probably has a college degree and that's why he's out of work right now!!

Hey I'm not saying anything bout him...unfortunately the economy has forced a lot of people with good college education to be out of work. heck I have post grad degree and I can only find part time!!! the rest of this should probably go in the off topic section. But employment in CA is really bad especially LA, just like you mentioned before. I can barely keep up with my student loans like this.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
I just have one question (mac)

On your second post, I downloaded the file, but how do you run flash.sh?

Like, go to the fastboot usb in bootloader and then run the command through my mac? If so, what is the command?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Did you search before posting?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
Yes I believe so. I couldn't find that exact answer I believe. Sorry man if it has between answered before lol.

I was actually afraid to even ask because of the tough love in here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I'm not experienced in Mac. In fact I loathe the entire Apple concept.

However if it's anything like Linux (and it should be) then use your Terminal to "cd" to the location of the .sh file and execute it. You may have to use the sh command.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
if you double click on it flash.sh it should popup terminal and run the script automatically!!! did this not work for you? MAKE SURE USB debugging is checked on in you phone!

edit: UPDATE: IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, Rename the shellscript from flash.sh to flash.command, then associate it with Terminal.app
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
Ok I will try that. Thanks. It is my girl's phone. So next time I see her.
[HTC Amaze 4G] john102:
lol

I know what you mean. It is pretty annoying, but people never read lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] woulfey:
Since I see there was no reply, the flash.sh script in mac os x does not work, even when changed to flash.command. It most likely works in linux but in mac the adb lines need to ./adb to run correctly. I am pretty new to adb but was able to get that much for macintosh. I have a question that maybe someone would know the answer to as well for adb (may or may not be mac specific). I was going to run all of the adb commands separately from the terminal from the script, but after unlocking my bootloader, adb no longer recognizes my phone as a device being listed. I have already tried searching for this, so I apologize if I just didn't find the correct answer already....any help would be appreciated

edit: got it, seems the kill-server command in adb unpairs them

also, the fastboot commands in macintosh are different as well, even when in the correct directory, you must specify the location of fastboot for it to work, so the script may only work for macintosh when set up in a certain way

linux help please

Hi, LinuxMint user here and it's my only OS at home. I'm handy with command line and have rooted other Android phones in the past. I have the Android SDK for linux installed. I've downloaded and unzipped the RecoveryInstallerForNoobs file and when I run Flash.sh through terminal I keep getting "Flash.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found" as a response. Any thoughts on what I'm missing to get the custom recovery image pushed to my phone? I did unlock the bootloader but then got the ICS 4.0.3 update so maybe the bootloader is locked again also? Thanks anyone for your help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Find the 4ext recovery thread - I think this is the most preferred recovery at the moment, and surely the one most up to date - it works. It costs 3 bucks on the market, but my understanding is that you can get it for free from the developers thread. Definitely worth the 3 bucks, no headaches, no scripts, nothing complicated.. OH, and it is a touchscreen recovery, themeable, etc.

Just trust me on this, you're trying to flash a recovery that is very much dated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Those instructions were meant for Gingerbread. technically it should still work, as long as you have all the drivers installed, but it seems like you're saying you have those installed. ICS seems to be the culprit. I might have to edit the script If I see more people are having problems with it on ICS. I myself have not updated to ICS, as I'm still waiting for the ICS versions of ROM's to become more stable and solid before I upgrade.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I chose to use the older recovery because it seems to have the most compatibility and flexibility with older roms as well as the newer roms and is also still compatible with the hbooting process. 4ext is a good options as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
The rom I made was incredibly stable, but it was build on ARHD, which also is incredibly stable. If you want something more aosp then speedrom 3.1 was solid as hell - the only issues that ever existed had to do with theming. I guess the question is what are you looking for it to do? Until true aosp or sense4 happens the variety that is out is pretty solid, and covers the options pretty well..

I honestly can't believe you haven't made the switch yet! :eek:

TWO threads entitled "Read First." I'm so confused!
[HTC Amaze 4G] beloanonymity:
Fast forward six months and I'm finally rooted. I should have subscribed to this and I probably would have seen your reply sooner. In the end I opened both the linux shell script and windows batch files in text editors and noticed how the commands in the .bat file were wrapped at each new command making it easier to read compared to the shell script. I also realized adb and fastboot commands need to be preceeded with ./ to run as they were intended when entered in the terminal, same as shell scripts. In the end I pushed the recovery image manually through line command. I was then able to install superuser and busybox binaries as well as the superuser apk from a zip in recovery. Your shell script and batch file helped out still albeit differently than it should have. I just wasn't thinking it through and am still learning a lot about linux. I feel a little more accomplished now in navigating and using the terminal. I think about rooting differently now than I did before. Would I be able to root any android device (phone or tablet) through an adb shell on my pc by mounting the system partition and manually pushing busybox and su binaries to /system/xbin and superuser.apk to /system/app or is there more to rooting the device than that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AwayFromReality:
As you guys can see I'm a noob. I wanted to ask about the Hasoon 2000 Toolkit. Is that only used for getting permroot or can I use it to flash custom rom's. If so how do I do that using his toolkit? Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
you can either get root via custom rom or by installing superuser
[HTC Amaze 4G] AwayFromReality:
I do plan on getting the perm root through this toolkit and getting the superuser installed. How do I flash the ROM from superuser? Thanks for your help by the way
[HTC Amaze 4G] DigitalUnderground:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

Read this before messing with your device. You need to flash a recovery (4ext) then can either flash superuser to gain root access on a stock rom or can flash a custom rom with root injected into it already.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gripen40k:
Hmm, it seems a lot of the links in the first post are broken :(

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ronlsjr:
Hello, is the galaxy tab 7 plus wifi only version going to get cyanogenmod 9 android 4.x? I read somewhere before it is but i don't see anything happening so maybe i read wrong. This is a very nice device but looks like its being passed up. It looks like alot going on for the new larger sized samsung tabs and other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Samsung has announced that it will be getting ICS (android 4.0.x), but I haven't heard/seen anything concerning CM9. On the other hand, if ICS from samsung shows up (and they post the source as they are supposed to do), and CM9 shows up for other tablets (as well as other exynos-based devices), it should be trivial to do the port (and I might even take that on myself.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
never been so confused as to what move to make when it comes to a trade.

i have been offered an nexus s for my g2x.

how is the gps on the nexus?

are roms like miui and cm7 stable?

and does ics live up to the hype?

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
cmon guys!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioan:
Miui just released another stable version for Nexus S, so the answer is yes.

I haven't use CM7 for long, but Oxygen ROM was my daily driver and it was awsome.

The ICS experience is speechless. Everything is smooth, fast and stable. You will need to find the combination of ROM + kernel that suits your needs.

In my opinion, you should do the trade.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegtfusion:
its worth it

okay. so you're asking if cm7 and miui are stable on NS? well Both roms are gingerbread based and the nexus s was made for gingerbread. so my answer: HELL YEEAH :D.

ICS is even better for me! Using peter alfonso's ICS rom now and it is rockstable with awesome batterylife :D

the G2x has only a better camera and processor.. so its a decision you have to make. I would take the NS..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkoch820:
Ain't G2X have a Tegra2 processor? I dunno men, ROMs are better for NS, but not sure if it's a reason to get a slower hardware...

edit: also no HDMI out, worse camera, not even 720p videorecording, front camera is VGA only, no gorilla glass...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
the main reason im considering this is ICS and amoled.

its basically hardware vs. software.....hardware cant be upgraded but software can.

maybe il wait till g2x gets cm9...cuz we have no type of ics love at all!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkoch820:
Make sure then, that it is not i9023, since it has S-LCD, not AMOLED. I don't think ICS makes such difference. It's beautiful, and I love it, but when I'm not in drawer, or settings, i'm using my 'old' apps, from gingerbread.

Maybe you should check out a nexus s, in a shop, or a friend's phone. I love my NS, and I hate to say this, but I think it's much slower...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
thanks for the info. its a i9020t

did u ever own or use a g2x?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkoch820:
I tried an optimus 2x, i think it's almost the same. Loved the camera, and the gaming performance. For the basic phone functions even my old 600MHz device was enough, so your choice depends on usage. For multimedia tegra, for everything else NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelnn:
Don't do it, man. You'll be disappointed.

I know it looks great now, but once you start using it you'll slowly see the disadvantages, which all are because of slower hardware.

You can wait a bit more for CM9, which will be available on the G2x and it will run a lot smoother than on the NS.

At least this is what I would do.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
thanks for ur input, my current phone (g2x) cost less than the nexus s, and dual core of the g2x cant be fully used because nvidia never release source. so it does have its own slow down now on miui and cm7.

i think il go with the nexus s...if i dont like it (doubt that), then it has a higher resell value
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealyourface:
I wouldnt do the trade. Considerable downgrade just for a better screen. I'm sure that phone will get ics eventually. Officially or not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knytphal:
We have both devices in our household, I have owned the Nexus S since it was first released and the wife recently received the G2X on a warranty trade in from a Galaxy S 4G.

I have had only one major issue with my Nexus S, a couple of days after getting it the thing decided to go into a hard bootloop that was only fixed by unlocking the bootloader and rooting the thing. I've had no issues with the hardware since. Software issues caused by ROMs I don't like, sure.

The G2X is a great piece of hardware, unless you are unlucky enough to get one that has hardware issues. We believe that the one in our household is one that seems to like to go into the "sleep of death". I've tried a couple of different ROMs on it and nothing seems to help it out in that regard.

I would say that if your G2X doesn't have the SOD issue, then keep it. The dev community may not be as active with that device....but then the dev community has really only started to pick up over here. If you just want a Nexus device, then by all means the NS is a great phone, it's just starting to get up there in years when it comes to the hardware. It's still the best device I've ever owned and I don't see myself upgrading it for awhile.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -deuces-:
lol same here. way better than vibrant and g2x....I mean miui on this baby is a dream. and hey, 911 dialing actually works....instead of risking emergencies to use cm or miui.

the smoothness on the NS is equal to the g2x dual core on miui and cm roms, and samaungs 5mp blows away LGs 8mp.

not trying to bash g2x but I just love the NS.

Hi all,

I'm using Galaxy Ace with CyanogenMod 7.

My device supports E, H, and 3G protocols. When i have 2G enabled, only E is working, it's slow, but stable.

But when 2G/3G is enabled and 3G network is available, my phone sometimes starts to jump quickly between H and 3G protocols.

In Moscow 3G is buggy and H is fine, so data transfer is cool and fast in H mode, but interrupts when the phone goes into 3G mode.

So i'm asking how can i disable 3G protocol to have only E working in 2G mode and only E & H working in 2G/3G mode...
